Abstract

Compiling 4 thematic maps reflecting population dynamics in Bulgaria along with methodical guide-lines after CHEPKASOV and BOURYAN (1985). The first map presents the urbanisation changes over a period of 39 years. The second map illustrates the space differences between the rural and urban population and relevant negative tendencies. The third map concerns the population dynamics for the whole period as well as for subperiods. This is shown on the example of the Lovec district. The fourth map sums up the mair trends and reveals three types of population dynamics in the Lovec district : progressive (5 municipalities including main urban centers), stable (2 municipalities) and regressive (25 municipalities - mostly rural). - (MB)
